Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Luna Lounge's beverage program leans Spanish, with a cocktail list that pairs Tito's with peach oolong lavender syrup and Four Roses with sherry. The wine list spans sherry to Vega Sicilia, and happy hour cuts prices across every category. Guests praise the cocktails and bartender service, though the liquor selection has drawn one complaint. It's a versatile spot for a quick drink or a serious bottle.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Spanish Old Fashioned, a Four Roses bourbon build with chocolate bitters and cream sherry. For a lighter pour, the Lemongrass Collins uses Puerto de Indias gin, elderflower, and cucumber. Happy hour brings house specialty cocktails to $10.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who like Spanish-inspired twists, wine enthusiasts after sherry or a splurge like Vega Sicilia, and anyone seeking a bargain during happy hour. The non-alcoholic mocktails and lemonades also serve designated drivers and teetotalers.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the obvious draw, with house cocktails at $10, selected wines half off, and $3 off pints and bottles. Evenings can get busy, so expect a wait at the bar on peak nights.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $15–$16; wines start at $10 a glass and climb to $545 for Vega Sicilia Valbuena. Draft beers are $7–$9, bottles $8–$12. Happy hour drops house cocktails to $10 and house liquors to $9.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Spanish accent runs through the menu: sherry in the Spanish Old Fashioned, Puerto de Indias gin in the Proper Gin & Tonic, and a wine list with manzanilla and Vega Sicilia. Happy hour discounts are aggressive, and drink packages for events include open premium liquor bars.

How it sits with the food
The Spanish-leaning drinks pair naturally with tapas-style plates: sherry with almonds or olives, the Spanish Old Fashioned with rich chorizo or Manchego, and a crisp Estrella Damm with fried bites. The menu's sangrias and Kalimotxo also suit casual shared plates.
